About 10 Bayham Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
10 Bayham Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Elstow, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 9GF). It has a recorded floor area of 192 m² (around 2061 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2011) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from December 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 192 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

Today's modelled estimate of £611,000 sits 64% above the 2012 sale of £372,500. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 14 years ago, in May 2012.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 10 Bayham Close is modelled from its 192 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK42 9GF. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 10 Bayham Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 10 Bayham Close was lodged in December 2011 at band D and expired in December 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 10 Bayham Close. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK42 9GF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 10 Bayham Close is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
